Summer cricket 2022/23

[John S]

I was hoping to listen to this as I drive to Sydney this arvo but not looking likely

 

[RugbyReg]

I fucking love test cricket.

 

[Dctarget]

1 run down, 75 runs to go. Leessgooo

Yeh this is stressful

Yeh this is stressful

It's like watching a Wallabies test. If the game goes past lunch I won't have any fingernails left.

For some reason this is more stressful. I think it's the repetition of each precise delivery. Also the absolutely fantastic parochial crowd adds to it.

My firm is merging with another and we have our first meet and greet in 30 minutes. Very important yadayada, doubt I'll be very social.

Lack of alcohol to dull the senses right now.

Sounds awful.

15 to go, Head getting on with it - exactly what we talked about.

 

[John S]

Sounds awful.

Been there, done that. And I'm not the most social person.

 

[The Ghost of Raelene]

Remember leaving Head out. He’s done this perfectly

 

[The_Brown_Hornet]

Yes boys!

 

[Derpus]

Wow easy in the end. Pretty outstanding performance in the end there. Lyon MotM for me. HM go to Khawaja and Head.

Taste it India - dished up another goat track and got served. Love that.

didn't they change the venue at the last minute? The other pitch must have been terrible.

But...anyway....never in doubt!

Guessing the wicket for the next test will be a road with a draw the likely result

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

I wouldn't mind head backing himself tbh. He seems very jumpy when he tries to temper himself and is waiting to get out. Selectors haven't helped this...

I'd love to see Head with 45 from 65 balls and Khawaja a 31 from 100 balls. I know unrealistic to think we won't lose a wicket or 9

I'm guessing you'll settle for 49* from 53 & 28* from 58, respectively? So good to see India come undone on a pitch they clearly doctored to suit Ashwin & Jadeja. Forgot to factor in Lyon, but.

They've retained the trophy anyway as the previous winner.

Rumour has it they are wanting to produce a bit more of a seem friendly pitch to prepare for the WTC Final. Although now that they lost this test they are some chance to miss out on being in it.

On that basis they might produce another pitch they think they can win on. The reality for them should be to produce a better quality pitch and have the confidence that they are a better side than us particularly in their home conditions.

Allegedly the outfield grass was replaced and wasn't ready due to fog
